[00:11.220]Bom-bom-bom...
[00:15.460]The year was Nineteen-Hundred
[00:17.710]T'is worth remembering
[00:20.250]The men who lived through
[00:22.590]Fifty-five days at Peking
[00:25.140]T'was called the Boxer Insurrection
[00:27.510]A bloody, Oriental war
[00:30.020]Against all nations
[00:32.520]Of the Diplomatic Corps
[00:35.270]The flags of France and Britain
[00:37.310]How they fluttered in the breeze
[00:40.010]The Italian and the Russian
[00:42.410]And the flag of the Japanese
[00:45.100]Then came the sound of bugles
[00:47.480]The rolling drums of fury
[00:49.990]And the streets of Peking
[00:52.330]Were as empty as a tomb
[00:55.360]Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
[01:05.090]The Empress of all China
[01:07.520]Gave the signal to begin
[01:09.950]Let the foreign devils
[01:12.530]Be driven from Peking
[01:15.070]They stormed the French Ligation
[01:17.440]They attacked with shot and shell
[01:19.930]And they came in blood red blouses
[01:22.410]Screaming "Sha Shou" as they fell
[01:26.670]The drums have long been muffled
[01:28.950]The bugles cease to ring
[01:31.410]But through the ages
[01:33.960]You can hear them echoing
[01:36.530]Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
[01:44.030]Fifty-five days at Peking
[01:46.640]Bom-bom-bom-bom-bom-bom
[01:51.680]Bom-bom, bom-bom-bom
[01:54.100]Fifty-five days at Peking
